Which process accelerates ventifact erosion on exposed desert bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Ventifact formation accelerates due to wind abrasion, where constant sand particle bombardment mechanically erodes exposed surfaces; the resulting etching carves distinct shapes, because kinetic energy transfer causes micro-fractures, therefore faster erosion occurs, rather than the slower action of chemical or biological means.
